Why would you even do this? What does having albums in this format actually achieve? I am genuinely curious about this, I can't see any obvious benefit to doing this, and with most rippers/encoders/transcoders this would take a notable amount of effort as opposed to ripping the tracks individually, which in my mind is infinitely more practical for any number of reasons.

Like an actual album (CD), I would rather have 1 CD than 12 individual CD's (for me, keeps things tidy). Say of those 12 tracks, I'm not keen on tracks 2, 3 and 5, I would like to be able to forward to the next track in sequence rather than pressing the fast forward button and guessing when the next track starts. I'm not saying that this is how it should be done or even if this is possible but I would find this feature useful.

My point is that there is nothing that you have described that can't be done already with the more conventional style of ripping albums to individual tracks.
If you have your library formatted in a sane way like most people do, it isn't untidy at all.
Music
-Artist
--Album
---Disc 1
----Track 1
----Track 2
----...
---Disc 2
----Track 1
----Track 2
----...
etc.
Or, you could use the Database, and even if you dump all your files in a single toplevel folder it will still sort them into a sane order by artist, album, year, etc. as long as you have correct metadata tags.

You could use cue sheets. So, that you would have 2 files for one CD. One file with music and one file describing name of songs, Interpret, lenght of song, ... (and many more...).
Using this setup, you could jump to the next/previous song. And have info about song name, artist name, ...

There is nothing wrong with the way you have formatted your library. In fact, mine is setup exactly the same (in both examples). It's just that I have come across a different way of storing tracks which I quite like but having (at the moment) difficulty skipping tracks.

This sounds like what I'm after. I've not come across cue sheets before so I'll do some investigating. Thanks.
